Overview

The Department of Radio Electronics of Peking University was founded in 1958 and renamed to "Department of Electronics of Peking University" in 1996. Since September 2002, it has been a teaching unit under the School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science. On November 12, 2021, it was officially established as the "School of Electronics". It has a total of 118 faculty and staff members, including 102 teaching and research personnel, among whom there are 60 professors/research professors, 35 associate professors/associate research professors, and 7 lecturers/assistant professors. It also includes 1 member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 6 Distinguished Professors of the Chang Jiang Scholars Program, 10 recipients of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars, 11 recipients of the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars, 5 selected for the Young Top-Notch Talents Program of the National Ten-Thousand Talents Program, 18 selected for national-level youth projects, 2 IEEE Fellows, 12 chief scientists of the 973 Program/National Key Basic Research Program/National Key R&D Program, 3 national-level candidates of the Hundred-Thousand-Ten Thousand Talents Program, and 1 recipient of the Beijing Higher Education Teaching Master Award.

Discipline Development

The School of Electronics consists of four research institutes of Physical Electronics, Quantum Electronics, Applied Electronics, and Information and Communication, supporting two undergraduate majors of "Electronic Information Science and Technology" and "Electronic Information Engineering", two primary disciplines of "Electronic Science and Technology" and "Information and Communication Engineering", and six sub-disciplines of "Physical Electronics", "Circuits and Systems", "Electromagnetic Field and Microwave Technology", "Quantum Electronics", "Communication and Information System", and "Signal and Information Processing". Among them, "Electronic Information Science and Technology" was selected as one of the characteristic majors of higher education institutions by the Ministry of Education, and "Electronic Science and Technology" was recognized in the first batch of "World-class University and First-class Discipline Construction" disciplines by the Ministry of Education. In the fifth round of national discipline evaluation, both "Electronic Science and Technology" and "Information and Communication Engineering" achieved excellent results and advanced to the next level.

At the same time, the School of Electronics also undertakes the construction of several national level or provincial level teaching and research platforms, such as " State Key Laboratory of Photonics and Communications", "MOE Key Laboratory for the Physics and Chemistry of Nanodevices", "Beijing Key Laboratory of Quantum Sensing and Precision Measurement", "SAPPRFT Engineering Technology Research Center for Broadband Coaxial Network". In 2019, the Research Center for Carbon-based Electronics was established as a research institution in Peking University, affiliated with the School of Electronics.
